Cayman S versus the Big Green Machine!

Since it seems that this forum has enough comparisons to the Cayman to sink a ship (many of which are apples to oranges comparisons), I thought no list would be truly complete without comparing my adult dream toy to my childhood dream toy.

So tell me guys....which one would take the cake? I mean the Big Green Machine does have slicks n all....cough.



Does anyone notice that the ad says it has seats..not just a seat? LoL And.....it has a tip proof design that has a lower CG than the Cayman....with those shifter controls, this sucker can turn on a dime!

Re: Cayman S versus the Big Green Machine!

I used to have a similar model in SPEED yellow. However, this one appears to have some sort of " black vertical brake vents" (probably to assist with cooling) that I don't remember mine having !

Big Green Waste of My Time

There is already a class action suit brewing because of those crazy stick-shift controls. You can't do a proper power slde with the rear wheels moving around. They rigged the Nerfburgring test. Plus they are UGLY. Sally Johnson is the hottest girl in Mrs. Taylor's class and she always hangs out at OUR track. Video from this weekend:

Re: Cayman S versus the Big Green Machine!

I used to live on top of a big hill. My friend and I would go down the hill in the big wheel and the green machine all of the time. I can't tell you how many times I crashed or ended up in the blackberries. Fun times!

Re: Cayman S versus the Big Green Machine!

Can you imagine them showing that commercial today with the kid spinning out of control? The lawyers would never let it out of the office!

(That's right Dan - I'm takin' shots at lawyers, I've earned it)

Re: Cayman S versus the Big Green Machine!

Being the spoiled brat that I was, I owned both. I enjoyed the big wheel more, it was much faster, as it was lighter, and handled better.

I remember the unsprung weight being a big part of the decision of which Big Wheel i chose to ride on any given day....
